In many English homes, people eat breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner a day. People have breakfast at any time between seven and nine in the morning. They eat porridge, eggs, or bread. Also they drink tea or coffee at breakfast.

    Lunch comes at one o'clock. The English people like take-away food. The most popular(最受欢迎的) food is fish and chips. They usually go to a fish and chip shop. They put the food in paper bags, and take it home, or to their work places. Some people eat take-away food in the park.

    Afternoon tea is about 4:30 in the afternoon. People usually drink tea with milk. And dinner is at about half past seven and it is usually a big meal. First they have soup, and then they have meat or fish with vegetables. After that they eat some other things, like bananas, apples or oranges. But not all English people eat like that. Some of them have their dinner in the middle of the day. People often eat dinner at a restaurant or at homes, and they think all these meals are very necessary (必要的).

Modern (现代的) life is not relaxing. We are very1 every day. Many people go to school or work without eating breakfast. This is not2 . Breakfast is very important. Also, it is good to have four or five3 meals every day, not one or two big meals. We can eat much4 and vegetables, such as apples, oranges, tomatoes and so on. Sports can also5 us to keep healthy.

Good habits make us feel good. 

China has a long history of using incense(熏香). Ancient Chinese people loved incense and knew how to make it. Different kinds of Chinese herbal(草药的) medicines were chosen by ancient Chinese to make incense, because incense could clean the air and keep people's minds clear. Different smells of incense can work differently.

As early as the Pre-Qin period, most of people liked to burn incense to wish for a better life. Later, it was found that incense could be used to keep away from animals. Gradually, the ancient people began to use incense to freshen air.

In ancient times, incense would also be used to tell time. For example, people would light a stick of incense to calculate(计算) the time of an exam. When it burned out, the exam was over. This is what Chinese people call"the duration(持续时间) of a stick of incense." What's more, incense in the shape of balls would be put in a special bag. When it was heated, the clothes covering the special bag smelled good. Incense can also be used to improve people's health. When you feel stressed or nervous, the pleasant smell can make you relaxed. And lots of Chinese believe that beautiful things that smell good can help people to have a good rest.

Chinese are born to prefer incense. Learning the ancient ways of making incense is a good way not only to show our respect for Chinese classical culture but also to pass it on.
